Great color, easy to wear
This jumpsuit was so comfortable and perfect for a post-holiday date. It was really easy to wear (regular bra, not too form-fitting, heels and jewelry I already owned) but looked so special. I would absolutely wear this to a fall/winter wedding or fancier holiday party. Would highly recommend!

Unique & fun
I loved wearing this dress. It was great for a mid-summer wedding, and the large-pattern lace was so different and beautiful. It was also fitted enough in the chest that I didn't have to wear a bra, which was amazing as I was still breastfeeding and had to pump twice during the event. The dress also lends itself to several shoe options, which is always a good thing.

Lovely autumn cocktail dress
I switched to this rental at the last minute to go with my son's outfit (lol) and was so happy I did. This is a classic shape with stylish elements like the one shoulder and the flare, and it was easy to wear--even while carrying and nursing a baby.

Light & lacy
I loved wearing this dress. It's very lightweight, perfect for a summer event, but still elegant enough for a formal occasion. I prefer tea-length dresses, so this not-quite-floor length hem was great for me. Loved being able to wear a regular bra, even with the low neckline.

Colorful & fun
This isn't my typical rental style, but I wanted a long dress with long sleeves for an outdoor wedding in New England in the fall. This fit that criteria and was bright and comfortable. I could have used a belt to define the waist more, and one button at my chest kept coming undone. Otherwise, a successful rental!

Perfect late summer dress
Extremely comfortable, easy to dress up or down, great for the transition from summer to fall. It was a true wrap dress, but connected with a panel across the waist so I wouldn't be flashing anyone if a strong breeze blew by. This is one I wish I could have kept!

Great color and cut
This was an out-of-the-box pick for me, but it was so worth it. The dress is very comfortable (I didn't belt it, but it would easily be even more stylish with one) and easy to wear. I wore a strapless bra with no problem. The color and lace are striking without being overwhelming.

Black tie dream
This dress is amazing. It was really fun to wear, and has a bunch of interesting elements on a pretty standard shape. I don't usually like the high/low hem, but this front hem was almost tea length (my favorite length). Plus, pockets!

I rented this dress to see a Broadway show. It's adorable, easy to wear, and right on the line between dressy and casual. Plus, it has pockets. I'd own one in every color.

Beyoncé looks
I have never felt sexier or more powerful than I did in this dress. At 19 weeks pregnant, I went one size up and it fit perfectly. I'd like to thank Beyoncé for wearing it first (also while pregnant) and RTR for having it so I could be my most wonderfully extra self.

Flirty alternative LBD
This dress was great. I wore it to a bachelorette dinner, and loved that it wasn't a basic little black dress. The floral design is beautiful and the rest of the fabric is a kind of silver herringbone pattern. It's super easy to wear and has pockets! The top was tight on me, but I have a larger chest and I think with a different bra it would have been fine. I'd highly recommend if you want an comfortable LBD alternative for a great price.

Sassy and sophisticated
This dress is so fun. The cut is totally different from any other dress I've rented, and it's such a cool little black dress alternative. The top is very loose - I'm pretty busty and at first I put on my biggest push-up to try and fill it out, but it ended up looking much better when I put on something without padding and just let it fall. The waist and sleeves hit at the perfect spots. The slit was also a little more dramatic that I anticipated, especially when I was sitting down, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. I would absolutely recommend this dress.

Perfect for photos and for work!
I rented this for an anniversary photo session and it was perfect. It's a classic cut with a flirty skirt that feels very Jackie O. It fit really well and was very comfortable and easy to move in - even the cap sleeves, which are sometimes an issue for me. I wore it with ankle boots and simple jewelry, but you could easily dress this up or down. I even wore it to the office the next day and it was definitely work-appropriate, too. I would highly recommend this dress for any wedding-related events.

Comfy and sassy
I loved wearing this dress! I'm a sucker for a fitted LBD, and for anything tea length, so this had my name written all over it. The fabric was stretchy and forgiving, although it is pretty thick. I wore this to a mostly outside event, and I would not recommend it if you're going to be without air conditioning in the late summer. It was worth being a little warm though! So fun and so easy to wear - normal bra, normal undies, and whatever jewelry you want. Because of the length, I would wear a decently high pair of heels, though.

Not exactly Belle
I still can't put my finger on what I didn't live up to my expectations about this dress. The color is lovely and the texture is unique, and the fit was mostly great. The boning in the torso was uncomfortable as the night went on, but that was my only fit issue - I didn't even have to wear a bra, which was a nice surprise because that just doesn't happen for me with 32DDs. I think I was thrown off by the high-low skirt, which isn't my favorite cut, but I thought it worked for this style. Maybe I wanted the skirt to be a little fuller? It sort of looked like it was hanging there. Overall, it was a fun summer dress, and I'm glad I tried it.

Noticeably worn, but excellent customer service
This was my first RTR disappointment after three years. I ordered the 2, but it wasn't available to ship, so I received the 4 (my backup size) and one size of another dress (that I ended up wearing instead). But even if this dress had fit me, I wouldn't have wanted to wear it. The cut is adorable and is definitely my style, but you could tell that it had been worn and cleaned, probably past its prime. But as it turned out, customer service was fabulous and I chose a backup style that was in great condition and actually fit me, so overall this was just another wonderful RTR experience.

Fab neckline, fun dress
This dress was a backup pick when the dress I originally ordered wouldn't be available in my size. It fit perfectly and ended up being a more fun choice than the style I thought I wanted. The neckline is amazing, the skirt is full without being obnoxious, and pockets are always a plus for me. I'd highly recommend this for a party or a night out. It didn't need hardly any accessories with the subtle shimmer of the sequins.

Fun and classic
Two separate people told me this dress reminded them of Audrey Hepburn style and it made my night! I have a little bit bigger bust so it was a little tight for me there, but I wore a regular bra with no problem. The gold in the fabric really stands out, way more than in the model photo, which adds a pop to a classic shape. You definitely need heels with the tea-length cut to give your legs some extra length. The skirt is great for dancing and the pockets are fabulous. I'd highly recommend this for some classic, easy glamour!

Flirty and powerful
I LOVED this dress. I rented it for my bridal shower in June and it was exactly what I wanted. It's flirty but powerful, which I wanted while I sat in front of 60 women watching me play games and open gifts. I'm obsessed with the fabric, which is soft and a little stretchy but thick enough that you won't see through it. It's quite short, and lady-like sitting was a little more difficult than usual, but absolutely worth it. I want this dress in all colors so I can spend my entire summer in it.

Beautiful and disappointing
This was not my idea dress, and not a shape I usually am comfortable wearing, but I wanted something gold and reasonably priced so I could rent it for 8 days using my birthday credit. I'll chalk it up to my own bad haircut and no real definable waistline on the dress, but I changed out of it halfway through our NYE party. There's nothing really wrong with the dress, besides a little irritation under my left arm from the sequins. Just wasn't the dress for me!

Comfy and Sexy
We joked that my bachelorette was 'responsible' but it was a very fun night out with my closest friends. This dress was perfect - comfortable, stretchy fabric, an interesting pattern, and great fit made this basic silhouette really stand out. It is short and will ride up a little if you're dancing, but nothing I couldn't handle. Once again RTR gets me to try something out of my comfort zone and is exactly what I wanted.

Easy and pretty
I rented this for a bridal shower, and it was perfect for a Sunday afternoon event. I'm a bridesmaid and the dress was flowy enough that I could sit on the ground with the flower girls to help with present-opening while still being a lady. Both the 0 and the 2 fit me almost identically, but I found the 2 to be a little more comfortable in the elastic at the waist.

Fun and Professional!
I rented this dress for a work party. It fit me perfectly and was very comfortable. The length of the skirt and the neckline were very appropriate for a professional setting, but the print and cut are so flirty and cute that it was still very fun. I was helping to run the party, so the pockets were a very helpful surprise! I loved renting this dress, and I'm sure it'll be the first of many fabulous Kate Spade adventures for me!

I was SO SAD to send this dress back! It was so light and colorful and perfect for a summer black tie event. The beading at the shoulder was in great shape and the regular length was perfect with 4 inch heels. I have a larger bust, so I really liked how the top part of the dress camouflaged it slightly. I tend to be afraid of print, but this was just too pretty. The colors of the dress are exactly the same in person as in the picture. A wonderful choice for summer!

I absolutely loved how this dress shines!
I felt so gorgeous in this dress. I wore it for a Mardi Gras ball and it was stunning. The long is actually pretty long, and even with 5-inch heels I had to hold it up when I walked. It was also a bit heavy, with the lining and the sequins, so I wouldn't recommend it for any summertime outings. But other than that, I loved how I felt in it. You'll definitely stand out in this dress.

Fabulous!
This dress was so fun. I loved how it was subtly shimmering, and I LOVED the bow detail in the back! It is a lower scoop in the back, but with the right low-back bra it worked fine! It also gave me some hips (which I always love) with the skirt flare at the perfect spot. I would absolutely recommend this dress.
